As a Remote Kubernetes Engineer, you will be assigned to support the US Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC), Operational Command and Control Acquisition Delta, known as Kobayashi Maru. Kobayashi Maru is responsible for continuously delivering impactful software for space operations. The program office’s mission includes the development and deployment of software for space defense, space domain awareness, and enabling data services.
·You will be responsible for leveraging Kubernetes technology to deliver, install, upgrade, patch and maintain highly reliable and resilient solutions for deploying and hosting current and future tools and services needed to develop, test, secure, and ship software applications to production. You will be expected to perform within an Agile framework including conducting daily stand up, welcome feedback often, sprint/iteration planning, duration planning, retrospectives, executing from the product backlog and roadmap, meeting performance metrics, and reporting on progress and blockers.
You will be responsible for securing and configuring containerized services orchestrated with Kubernetes, and its underlying environment. You will be responsible for tuning Kubernetes performance and identifying problems by using service and traffic metrics by establishing monitoring and alerting dashboards. You will be the lead for the lifecycle management of all containerized services used in the development of Kobayashi Maru software. You will be the lead for troubleshooting containerized-services and publishing root cause analysis (RCAs) and postmortems with the larger portfolio. You will establish Service Level Objectives and other Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) related metrics. You will manage the north-south and east-west network traffic to ensure all container-based critical services are maintained. You will ensure the Kubernetes environment is running as it should, properly patched and configured, has sufficient resources to run the required applications, and can scale as needed without being overprovisioned. With automation and an ‘everything as code’ mentality, you will design, secure, deploy, and manage the Kubernetes environment required to support 14 software product teams and thousands of users across the test, IL4 development, IL6 staging/production, and higher classification level stagging/production environments.
Minimum Required Qualifications:
· Minimum 8+ years of professional experience as a Kubernetes Engineer, successfully designing and building distributed systems for mid to large enterprises, including two years of SRE experience.
· Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, STEM, or IT from an accredited institution
· Possession of a current Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) certification, or equivalent
· US Citizen and possession of a current Secret Clearance
· Your resume must demonstrate experience:
· Delivering container orchestration solutions to leverage the full value of container technology
· Designing, building, and implementing could-native architectures with Kubernetes
· Maintaining, configuring, and monitoring containers using Infrastructure as Code principles in the development, test, and production environment
· Designing containerized solutions for relational/non-relational databases, data auditing, caching, and performance
· Implementing observability solutions, key metrics to monitor, and establishing monitoring foundation
· Troubleshooting and conducting root cause analysis to address routine to moderately complex issues with accuracy and performance
· Deploying and managing micro-services using container orchestration platforms
· Automating system tasks and infrastructure using a scripting language, with configuration management tools, service registry and discovery tools, infrastructure orchestration tools, and automated imaging tools
· Using and optimizing monitoring and trending systems, log aggregation systems, and their agents
· Proficiently using one or more of the following tools: Argo CD, cert-manager, Ingress, Keycloak, MinIO, MongoDB, Pinniped, Prometheus, Grafana, VMWare Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, Sealed Secrets, Tanzu Postgres and Operator, Vault, Velero/Restic, Harbor, Kustomize, Jira, Confluence, Gitlab and Helm
